Question by Tammy: What would you do if you were in my place? I know its long but please read and answer.?
So my daughter is 15 but is in 8th grade, going into 9th when summer starts next week. She is at an upper class private school but we can only afford it because of a scholarship the school gave to us. My husband teaches at a community college but the college is facing financial trouble and might drop his department. Anyways, the scholarship is supposed to be private but i think just about everyone in the whole school knows about it. I was at a school play with my daughter on thursday night and when it was over, this woman walked over to me and asked if i was Tamera. I told her yes. She introduced herself as Jennifer Fitch and then went on to tell me that she had asked the school if they knew anyone who was qualified to be a secretary in a law office. Apparently the school told her i needed a job and was qualified as a secretary because i used to handle sorting the school lunch orders and taking them to the vendors. The school didn’t tell her about the job though. She said she was a lawyer and her personal secretary was moving away and she was looking for a new one. She asked me if i was interested and my husband told her i was. She basically told me when i had to come in for a formal interview if i wanted the job. It was at 10 the next morning. Then her husband walked over carrying their daughter, Maddy, who is in my daughters class and got one of the lead rolls my daughter auditioned for in the play, piggy back. My daughter, Melody said hi to her and she just rolled her eyes and looked at her iphone to answer a text. I went in the next morning at 9:45 and Jennifer didnt even show up until 10:30. When she got there, she didnt appologize or anything but she said Maddy had gotten no sleep the past few weeks getting ready for the play and she had to take her to the doctor. We up to her office and she told me what the job involved. She told me all i would do was answer the phone, set up appointments, and work with one of her paralegals with sorting paperwork. She told me she was one of 3 partners in the firm and there were 6 other attorneys, 9 paralegals, and 3 secretaries in the firm. Then she did the usual interview things. I told her that i had 3 daughters and one son. I told her that my son and one of my daughters has autism and that the other 2 daughters attend the same school as her daughter. That was all i thought she needed to know but she started asking me about what my kids like to do and then she asked where i live. I told her then asked her why she needed to know and she told me if i got the job, i would have access to highly confidential and she needed to know she could trust me so i asked her about her family. It was a mistake because she went on for about 15 minutes telling me about Maddy and how wounderful of a girl she is. Now to me this is a lie because i know her daughter is a partier, is popular, snobby, and very rude to Melody. Then she told me all about her husbands job as the CFO of the company he works for. Then she told me they live in Tuscan Hills, which ive been to before and i dont think any of the houses there are worth less that several million. She told me she thought i was the one for the job and i could have it if i improved my image a bit. I asked her what she meant and she said i needed an appropriate haircut, i need to dye my hair to hide the gray spots, and she said i needed to improve my wardrobe just a little. I said I had to talk it over with my husband so she said she would have someone from her office call me in the next several days to ask if i wanted the job. Then a client showed up so she showed me out and went back to her office.

My husband really wants me to take the job because he is sure he is about to get laid off but i think Jennifer is a bit stuck up and rude and im afraid it will make it even harder on my daughter if i work for one of her classmates parents. My daughter is socially akward and is bigger than most people in her class (boys and girls) and is the oldest in her class so she is made fun of as it is. It also annoyed me that she actually told me to get better clothes, a better haircut, and that i have gray spots (which i never noticed before). What would you do if you were in my place? Thanks in advance

I’d take the job. This is completely NOT an issue to go starving over.

Your daughters time in school is limited- she’ll graduate someday.
Your career is indefinite.

Would you like to see all monarchies abolished & should ALL monarchy & remnants of it should be gone for good?

Question by JohnWayne: Would you like to see all monarchies abolished & should ALL monarchy & remnants of it should be gone for good?
It really is something of a none started to argue that a monarchy can act as a counter-balance within a democracy or that members of a royal family can & do good works. A democracy should by its very nature not need a counter-balance, but should the fear be there within the society then there is a second “house” &/or a judiciary that can act as a control. And as in the French system a president need not be of the same political party as the government & can in extreme circumstances terminate a government & call elections.

As for members of a royal family doing “good things”, so what, pop-stars do “good things” too (which is essentially what today’s royals are now, USELESS), but nobody is ever going to advocate paying them out of taxes. The British royal family are put forward as working for the greater good of the British people, but if they were to disappear some other strata of society would take their place performing the same function at a fraction of the cost. The current crop of young royals in Europe seem to spend most of their time getting into & out scandalous scrapes & as for using Ex-Princess Diana as a “good” example of a member of a royal family that only shows that somebody swallowed all the media hype of the time.

No society today has a need of a monarchy, good government yes, but a monarchy plays no needful part in that.

And as we have reached the 21st Century, since there are few monarchies and even fewer in the traditional sense, many people now view monarchy as an archaic system and should have no place in modern society. And even the democratic constitutional ceremonial monarchies are very fragile and in threat of their survival (with them relying on percentages of support and the citizenry being indifferent toward these monarchies). Because in the 21st century, a political institution, monarchy, which has been around since preliterate man, is on the verge of extinction. In an age of democracy, it is hierarchic; in an age of egalitarianism, it is elitist; in an age of skepticism, it is mystical.So tell me, Do You think it’s time for the remaining monarchies of the World to be abolish and if so, why? Please! I want a straight forward yes or no answer and why. And NOT just that “THEY’RE TRADITION THEY SHOULD BE LEFT ALONE” OR “IT’S UP TO THE PEOPLE” I NEED A BETTER ANSWER THAN THAT!

I really don’t care if such and such monarchy is the most democratic or high on the HDI or got a high percentage of support. That’s not proving your point. We’re talking about THE PEOPLE choosing their leaders INCLUDING the Head-of-State.

I have heard about these nations, and they want republics or don’t care two rats about their royals other than entertainment. And I will be glad the people will one day throw off the remaining shackles of a medieval political structure that is based on the belief that an aquatic tart threw a sword at someones ancestor and somehow that gives them the right to govern people. The concept of governance that is based on strange women lying in ponds distributing swords to men in order to declare themselves a ruler is absurd. Here we are 1500 years later and people still tolerate such nonsense. Power is derived from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Answer by Rollo
The problem with electing a head of state is that you instantly give that person a mandate to do something.

Whether that mandate vests itself to the point of dangerousness as in the case of the United States where on the order of the President, the nation has been sent to multiple wars on numerous occasions, or uselessness in the case of France where ironically, you end up with precisely the same condition that you complain about in Britain.

Assuming Great Britain was to adopt a republican model, then presumably the head of state who would probably be called a President. If there is a President, then what is his relation to the Prime Minister? Do you want him to be more or less powerful, or merely a figurehead?
If the President replaces the Queen, then is the President to be elected by the parliament or by the people? If the President is to be elected by the people, then what sorts of powers do they have? Are they to be defined or a loose sort of nebulous arrangement like the current monarchical system? And if the President is to be elected by the people, does that infer that the President would have a mandate to exercise those as yet undefined powers?

Since the inventor of the modern Republic was France; this grew out of the tyranny associated with the Emperors like Napoleon which for all intents were identical in character to the line of kings they deposed. Currently the French President (Nicolas Sarkozy) is directly elected and holds similar powers to the Queen. The President signs off on legislation and frequently exercises their powers of veto as they see fit. They also have the power to rule on constitutional matters and can refer matters to a referendum.
The problem is that the President is not exactly a respected position. Sarkozy is not necessarily held in high regard with the airs that should come with head of state and is often accused of being incompetent.

Which I’m quite sure bodes well for the idea you have proposed.

(And not once did I mention “tradition”)

How long should I wait to call my job interviewer? What does it mean when…?What would you like to ask?

Question by lanza1977: How long should I wait to call my job interviewer? What does it mean when…?What would you like to ask?
A couple weeks ago I did a phone interview with a company in which they asked me for a salary expection (which I gave because I feared if I didn’t I wouldn’t move on in the interview process). The following day they invited me for a second interview. The interview went very well. They even had the big boss come down, unexpectedly, to meet with me and ask questions.
Five days later the person from Human Resources that did the phone interview called me, I thought to make an offer, but instead she told me that my salary expectations were too high. But she also told me that she received very good feedback from the managers and big boss who interviewed me. She did not make an offer, and it seemed like she was trying to start negotiations without an offer. She said that she could not even tell me a salary range until an offer is made.
So, instead of giving another salary figure I told her that I am very willing to negotiate because I would really like to work for them and that it’s hard for me to say a number without a range, but that I wanted to make sure that the compensation package was motivating, value-based, and in line with the market rate. She then asked me how I could justify my expected increase from my last job and I said that I was moving from a non-profit to the private sector. She seemed satisified with my answers about salary and that another HR person would be caluculating amounts based on some factors (that I don’t know) and that I would hear from them in the “next day or two.” Today is day 3. I am nervous because I haven’t heard from them (and it’s now the weekend) and I really want this job, but am concerned because in the past I have been underemployed and underpaid for my worth. Is this a bad sign that they haven’t called? How can I negotiate without knowing their terms? Should I give them a call on Monday or does that seem too desparate?
